Title: Carbon mk5 vw badges
Post by: OirishGTI on April 03, 2017, 07:56:54 am
Hi has anyone seen carbon mk5 VW badges  (front and back)? I can only find mk 6 versions, would they fit?
Any links would be appreciated  :happy2:

The rear mk6 fits if you have the 11cm mk5 badge on already, it's a straight swap but you'll have snap off the lil clips behind the mk6 one but just leave the "big" clip which is kind of in the middle, bit of strong double sided tape and you're good to go
Front mk6 badge is different size so won't fit

Snapping the clips is a balls and it doesn't look right.

Take it from past experience.

Replace entire rear mechanism for mk6 one and then carbon wrap from there.

Done it on mine, clips came off easy and it looks perfect, been on there for about 7 months now
But yeah entire mechanism is another option defo
